Abstract:
The Nobel Prizes are widely regarded as the ultimate achievement by researchers, writers and politicians. Due to its uniqueness and the values it stands for, the Nobel Peace Prize seems increasingly important in the modern world. To this point, no Romanian citizen was awarded this prize, but how many of them were nominated and how close were those nominated to winning this prize? Based on the archives of the Nobel Institute, this paper presents the Romanian nominees during the interwar period, their image and their activity as it appears in the nomination letters. The documents
show that the name of some Romanians appears in
the
letters of
nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, their
works
and ideas
being
of a real interest. Those
who
nominated them tried
to influence
the decisions of
the Nobel Committee
in
favor of
their candidate. The results were not positive, but Romanians, the nominees as the nominators, were among those keeping pace with the events, the politics and the peace movements in Europe during a troubled time.
Rezumat:
Premiile Nobel
sunt considerate
astazi ca cea mai importanta realizare de catre
cercetatori, scriitori si politicieni. Datorita
unicitatii
sale si a valorilor pe care le reprezinta, Premiul Nobel pentru Pace a devenit mai
rāvnit decāt
oricare altul īn
lumea contemporana.
Prin urmare, este
important sa se stie
cāt de
generos a fost acest premiu, sau mai degraba Comitetul Nobel, cu
reprezentantii unor natiuni
sau
cāt de aproape
de
cāstigarea acestui premiului au
fost altii. Avānd ca punct de plecare
arhivele
Institutului
Nobel, aceasta
lucrare prezinta
candidatii
romāni
la Premiul Nobel pentru Pace din perioada interbelica, munca
si
imaginea
lor
asa cum apar acestea īn
scrisorile de nominalizare. Documentele
demonstreaza
ca
romānii
au fost prezenti
īn
scrisorile de
nominalizare
pentru
Premiul
Nobel pentru Pace, operele lor
si
ideile lor fiind de
un real interes. De asemenea, cei care i-au nominalizat, au īncercat sa influenteze
īntr-un mod
convingator
deciziile Comitetului
Nobel īn favoarea
candidatului propus. Rezultatele
nu
au fost īntotdeauna cele asteptate, dar romānii, atāt candidatii
cāt si cei care i-au propus,
au fost printre
cei ce au
tinut pasul
cu
evenimentele, cu politica timpului
si cu miscarile pentru pace īntr-o perioada
tulbure din istoria Europei.
